Chinese Zodiac

The project is still on the preliminaries and I'm getting ideas for the designs. 

The Chinese zodiac is a personal project and really a way to find my personal style. Since I started drawing and painting as a short age, I denied my artistic nature for a few years and I wasn't giving my creativity a chance to show up . I didn't touch a pencil for about 3 years and realized that this is what I want to do professionally in my life.

With this project I want to push myself forward and find my own way into my personal style discovery. 

The first sketches are for the Dragon, the only mythical animal of the Chinese zodiac. They will all include the flower assigned to the animal and the cardinal point represented on the ball.

Happy NEW YEAR 2010!!!


I'm having a new year's review for all the things I've done till now in my life.
Of course, I'm regretting all the things I could have done and I never did and I'm beginning this year with a renovated power from within to do much more and better for me and others.



Thence come the maidens mighty in wishdom, Three from the dwelling down 'neath the tree; Urth is one named, Verthandi the next,-- On the wood they scored,-- and Skuld the third. Laws they made there, and life allotted To the sons of men, and set their fates.
- Fafnismol in translation by Henry Adams Bellows (1936), at Sacred Texts -
